The busy spring sowing season has arrived in Lingzhou in mid-March.
Lingzhou is an "imperially appointed" agricultural base, responsible for the largest share of food production tasks in the entire Shuofang military system.
After arriving in Lingzhou, Shao Shude wandered around various villages in Huaiyuan County.
Look at the scene of spring wheat sowing, listen to the chatter of farmers, and then take a look at the beef cattle of farmers who implement the three-crop rotation system. He likes to see farmland and pasture, and never tires of it.
Agriculture is the basis of all his grand plans.
"Your Majesty, please have some tea." On the grass that was beginning to turn green, large areas of blankets were spread, and the talented young lady Queen knelt on the ground and said softly.
Hmm, the voice is a bit charming, these little fairies.
Shao Shude glanced at her with a half-smile, and Wang boldly raised his head with watery eyes.
Zhuge was originally a maid, but became pregnant after being favored by the king, which gave more encouragement to the other maids.
"Is it Lingzhou tea?" Shao Shude took his hand out of his short jacket and patted Ge Shu's round buttocks. The Turkic girl immediately stood up and stood aside.
Mrs. Bai brought in a plate of dried fruits.
This daughter is the niece of Bai Gui, who was donated by the Bai family in Huizhou and served as a cavalry general in the Yi army.
These women may not all be stunning.
Because the heads of each tribe could not just find a woman to offer to the Khan. Even if they were not their legitimate daughters, they would still have to be from a close clan, so the range of choices was narrow. They could only try to select colorful and intelligent girls to donate to the Great Khan for his enjoyment.
In short, bloodline comes first, and prairie people are more precious.
But the Great Khan Shao couldn't enjoy it anymore.
There were more than 20 maids from the Zhe family, and the Yinshan and Tibetan tribes also donated more than 20 people, Pingxia Dangxiang, and Hexi Dangxiang donated more than 10 people, and the conquered Hewei and Tubo tribes donated more than 10 people, and there were some "
The "trophies of war" that have been "unsealed" and enjoyed by the Great Khan so far are actually the two daughters of the Tuoba family and the Zhuge family.
Others are just played with occasionally, such as the Ge Shu family that I just played with when I was thinking about something.
After taking a sip of Lingzhou rock tea, Shao Shude gestured and Wang sat down.
The taste of power is intoxicating.
But power will not always be with you. It needs to be managed and cared for carefully. If you are not careful, it will slip away, and then you will be ruined, your life will be ruined, and your family will be ruined.
"Mr. Sir." A sweet voice sounded in the distance. The maids surrounding Shao Shude all shuddered and put away the flattery on their faces. Some even subconsciously took a small step back.
Wang's rapid breathing suddenly choked, and Shao Shude laughed and let her leave his arms.
Zhe Fang Ai, Ye Li Ling Ji, and Wu Zang Miao'e each rode a horse and were waving in this direction with a smile. Behind them, there were several maids in Yi Shui's bright red hunting clothes, looking at
So heroic.
Marshal Shao suddenly thought of another themed event.
Zhao Yu didn't ride horses with them. She couldn't and didn't dare to. However, in order to fit in with the group, she also dressed up in a prairie dress today.
Red robe with full train, curved lapels, very narrow cuffs, and exquisite and luxurious phoenix and bird patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs. The hair is combed high in a bun, with gold hairpins on it, and a red ribbon hangs down the back, and the face is haloed with ocher.
It is dyed with flowers on the forehead and face, with earrings on the earlobes, a necklace with beads, and a felt hat on the head.
What a Uighur lady!
"Mr. Sir!" Zhe Fang Ai turned over and dismounted, and with a glance, all the maids bowed their heads in fear.
"Sit here, husband." Shao Shude patted his side and said.
Zhe Fang Ai sat down as he was told.
I was sitting upright at first, but then I thought, I am a "barbarian" today, so I don't need to worry about it so much, so I reached out and hugged Shao Shude's arm.
She doesn't really like "pretending" anymore because she has found that the more you pretend, the less beneficial it is. The more you pretend, the more your husband spends the whole night sleeping in other women's rooms, and he suffers a lot.
"I have to put a phoenix crown on my wife's head." Shao Shude looked at his beautiful wife and said with a smile.
Zhe Fangmai pinched Shao Shude quietly. With so many wives, concubines, and maids by his side, how could he dare to say anything?
"If that Uighur woman doesn't come here to serve me, if she's not satisfied, tomorrow there will be tens of thousands of iron hooves trampling on your pasture." Shao Shude pointed his finger and said with a smile.
Zhao Yu smiled, walked over and looked at him.
"Oh, it's boring. You don't know how to role-play." Shao Shude shook his head and said, "But it doesn't matter. Tomorrow, I will kidnap some Uighur girls and let them play their true colors."
"My husband must fight in person?" Zhe Fangmiao said with a worried look on her face: "With so many government officers, it's time for them to take on important responsibilities. In the future, we will fight with all parties and fight in person in every battle. Will it be too busy?"
"Someone made a mistake. I thought that conquering Liangzhou would be a very simple matter, but I didn't expect it to be so complicated." Shao Shude sighed: "Weng Gao did bad things and spread rumors, which led to the attack on the city by Qi Mo and the Tibetan people in Liugu.
Attack and kill his tribe, and then the Xinquan Army and the Ganzhou Uighurs all get involved, causing chaos!"
"Since it's business, husband, please go and do your business. I will take care of the affairs at home, so husband, don't worry." Zhe Fangmei sat up straight and said seriously.
Shao Shude seems to have seen his wife who was just married and she was so serious. Sometimes I think about it, the family actually needs such a dignified and "serious" wife to help take care of everything in the house and give him the energy to fight.
Quartet.
"Don't worry, it won't be long. When our teacher comes back, my son will not be born yet." Shao Shude touched Zhe Fangxiao's belly and said with a smile.
Zhe Fang Ai couldn't hold back anymore, and her face was filled with joy. She was only twenty-three or four years old after all. Shao Shude squeezed her hand and said: "Relax, it's the way of civility and martial arts. After such a period of rest, it's time to move."
It's moving."
After his private life is over, he will immediately go into battle again. The life of a warrior in troubled times is so "simple and unpretentious".
After returning to Huaiyuan New City, Shao Shude called in his staff to discuss countermeasures.
The staff were all talking and talking, while he stared at the map on the wall for a long time.
Liangzhou, Ganzhou, Suzhou, I ran my fingers back and forth, thinking non-stop.
"That's it!" After a long time, Shao Shude poked hard with his hand and said: "If you want to play, play big."
Zhao Guangfeng looked intently and saw that the picture on the wall had been poked with a hole by the handsome finger.
On the right side of the "cave" is Liangzhou and on the left is Suzhou. Zhao Guangfeng: "..."
"Order: The entire Tielin Army marches to Lingzhou and is stationed at Huaiyuan and on the Lingzhou front line. One part of the Zhenwu Army is stationed in Xiazhou and the other part is stationed in Suizhou."
Lu Siye wrote it down silently.
"The Iron Cavalry and the Leopard Cavalry gathered immediately. The five counties of Huile, Lingwu, Baojing, Feng'an, Mingsha and Hexi Dangxiang each recruited some masters to help transport grain, grass and equipment."
"Ask Zhang Yanqiu, the envoy of the Zhenwu Army, to come to Lingzhou. I have an important task for him." Shao Shude said again: "No, it's too late. Lu Siye will write a separate order to Zhang Yanqiu later, asking him to travel quickly and take up his post immediately.
.”
"As commanded."
Zhao Guangfeng listened quietly.
At the critical moment, the commander-in-chief still chose to trust Zhang Yanqiu instead of other generals.
Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the path to survival. We must pay attention to them.
As for what the commander asked Zhang Yanqiu to do, Zhao Guangfeng had some vague guesses. He raised his head and glanced at Shao Shude, and Shao Shude also turned to look at him. The two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was clear.
The handsome man's appetite is really big. The scene this time is really big enough.
From the beginning, no one expected that the situation in Liangzhou would be so complicated, nor did we plan to fight a large-scale war. At this point, we can only talk about things in a hurry, and we cannot help you to be weak and hesitant. When the fighter plane appears,
Attack decisively and win the final victory.
"Send someone to contact the Guiyi Army and the Suzhou Long family. If there is a grudge, there will be revenge. If there is a grudge, there will be a complaint. The Ganzhou Uighurs are so arrogant, it's time to teach them a lesson." Shao Shude ordered again.
Lu Siye's pen moved like flying, constantly jotting down key points. After a while, he would draft various orders and letters to convey the commander's intentions one by one. This was a professional pen.
"Commander, the Guiyi Army may not be willing to send troops." Zhao Guangfeng reminded: "In the past ten years or so, they have been more defensive, and their power is much less than before."
"Rising at the right time and rising as the times require, this is the Guiyi Army." Shao Shude said: "However, once the court loses the trust of the Guiyi Army, it will become inevitable for the Guiyi Army to go downhill. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter whether Zhang Huaishen comes or not, he and his family are all the same.
Compared with Shazhou, I think the Long family in Suzhou is more likely to send troops, and that’s enough."
Zhao Guangfeng cupped his hands in agreement.
Ganzhou was originally the territory of the Long family. The Uighurs attacked once and were defeated by the Guiyi army and the Long family. After the Uighurs came back again, the Long family could not hold on in the long-term tug-of-war and finally decided to retreat to Suzhou.
Ganzhou surrendered.
But the Long family also really hates the Uighurs in Ganzhou. They probably know that the next target of the Uighurs' attack is Suzhou, so the possibility of sending troops is quite high as long as there is an opportunity.
Suzhou is originally a subordinate state of Hexi Town, but the Long family has been paying tribute to Shazhou for many years. How can this be allowed? The three states of Liang, Gan, and Su, the minimum goal is to actually control Liangzhou, and secondly, see if there are any opportunities
Capture Ganzhou and Suzhou.
This is Shao Shude's appetite.
On March 16, Shao Shude led his own soldiers, which had expanded to 600 people, as well as iron cavalry and leopard cavalry, accompanied by a large group of camel logistics troops, and headed towards Liangzhou.
When we were raiding the Tijin Zefan tribe, we got a lot of camels, which I thought were very troublesome and difficult to deal with. Now I am going to Liangzhou, and I suddenly feel that they are very useful. They are simply the best means of transportation in arid and semi-arid areas. The only one.
The disadvantage may be that it is too slow.
Before departure, we also received a lot of information.
Qin Zongquan died and was sent to the capital by Zhu Quanzhong, where he was executed by Sun Kui of Jingzhao Yin.
Qin Zongquan, the demon king of this world, stretched out his head from the prison car before he died, and shamelessly begged Sun Kui for mercy: "Shang Shu (Sun Kui), do you think I am a rebel? It's just that my loyalty has no effect."
The onlookers all laughed, it would be better for Tian Lingzi to die bravely!
For this merit, the imperial court awarded Zhu Quanzhong Zhongshu Ling and promoted him to the title of Prince of Dongping County.
Zhu Quanzhong's relative, Zhao Ji, was added as Tongping Zhangshi, appointed Zhongwu Army Military Envoy, and the name was changed to Chenzhou.
Zhao Deqian, the Jiedu envoy of Jiazhong Yijun (Shannan East Road), ordered Zhongshu Ling. This move was of profound significance. Once the Qin clan power was destroyed, the imperial court began to be wary of Zhu Quanzhong.
Qian Liu sent troops to capture Suzhou, and his development seemed to be better than that of Yang Xingmi.
Everyone is busy! Shao Shude put away the information, got on his horse, and left Huaiyuan with the large troops.
